An Analysis of The Geospatial Distribution of Secondary School Teacher Qualifications and Their Impacts on Educational Quality in Mubi Metropolis, Adamawa State Nigeria

Abstract

This research explores the geospatial distribution of secondary school teacher qualifications and their impacts on educational quality in Mubi Metropolis. Education is recognized as a fundamental human right with significant implications for social and economic development. However, in underdeveloped nations, the distribution of schools and qualified teachers tends to be uneven, affecting educational access and quality. This study employs geographic information systems (GIS) to map the distribution of qualified and unqualified teachers in the region, identifying potential disparities and geographic clusters. The research sheds light on the implications of teacher qualifications for academic performance, student engagement, classroom management, and overall educational outcomes. The findings can inform targeted interventions to enhance educational quality and create a conducive learning environment for students in the Mubi Metropolis.
